First Embodiment

FIG. 1 is a view exemplarily showing a personalized display system 100according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2 isa detailed view showing components of the personalized display system100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown, the personalized display system 100, for integrating andvarying car content, includes a profile creation unit 110, a user weightcreation unit 120, a display specification decision unit 130, and anintegration screen display unit 140.

The profile creation unit 110 collects and stores car drivinginformation transmitted from an electronic control unit (ECU) 101. TheECU 101 controls an accelerator, a battery, a brake, an air conditioner,a cluster 103, an audio device, and electric equipment related tovarious kinds of driving to create driving information. However, thepresent disclosure is not limited thereto. The created drivinginformation generically names information related to driving createdthrough operations of the accelerator, the battery, the brake, the airconditioner, and the electric equipment.

In addition, the profile creation unit 110 collects and stores routeinformation through an audio video navigation (AVN) device 102 forproviding information related to roads and traffic. The routeinformation includes information related to a road state, a car travelstate on the road, a departure state, a stopover state, and adestination state. The collected driving information and routeinformation may be one learned by a driver through fuzzy logic.

In a case in which state content of the cluster 103 and the AVN device102 is provided to an integration screen, which will hereinafter bedescribed, in the form of a user interface (UI), the profile creationunit 110 creates manipulation information related to manipulation of thestate content.

The created manipulation information may be one learned by the driverthrough fuzzy logic. The manipulation information may be input from amobile terminal 300 connected through a wireless network, such as amobile communication network.

In a case in which state content of the cluster 103 and the AVN device102 is provided to the mobile terminal 300 in the form of a userinterface (UI), manipulation information input from the mobile terminal300 may be transmitted to the profile creation unit 110, which may usethe manipulation information.

That the driving information, the route information, and themanipulation information are learned by the user through fuzzy logicmeans that manipulation styles acquired through user's experiencesduring driving are reflected in the driving information, the routeinformation, and the manipulation information. For example, manipulationstyles, such as acceleration and deceleration, the number of times ofmanipulation and the details of manipulation, maintenance/change of amain screen, the type of a road, a long/short distance, anddetermination of day/night, may be learned and reflected in the drivinginformation, the route information, and the manipulation information.

Consequently, the profile creation unit 110 combines the drivinginformation, the route information, and the manipulation informationlearned through fuzzy logic using various kinds of information acquiredfrom the ECU 101. The combination is a result obtained through matchingamong the driving information, the route information, and themanipulation information. For example, the driving information and theroute information may be matched with the manipulation information pertime zone, road, and driving speed to combine the driving information,the route information, and the manipulation information. When thedriving information, the route information, and the manipulationinformation are combined, the profile creation unit 110 may createmanipulation style profile information through combination thereamong.In other words, the manipulation style profile information created asdescribed above is matched with the manipulation information per timezone, road, and driving speed. Consequently, driver's favoritemanipulation information is reflected in the manipulation style profileinformation.

For example, manipulation information during driving and car drivingstate information of the driving information may be combined to learndisplay information manipulation based on a traveling habit on atraveling route. Examples of learning may include acceleration anddeceleration, the number of times of manipulation and the details ofmanipulation, maintenance/change of a main screen, the type of a road, along/short distance, and determination of day/night as described above.

The user weight creation unit 120 gives a manipulation specificationweight based on the manipulation information acquired through theprofile creation unit 110 and driver information input by the driver.The manipulation specification weight is a result obtained by giving aweight to the manipulation information in a case in which themanipulation information is displayed through the user interface of theintegration screen.

Consequently, the user weight creation unit 120 may create weightsetting information as the manipulation specification weight is given tothe manipulation information. The weight setting information may be setthrough the user interface of the integration screen or through themobile terminal 300. That is, when the manipulation specification weightis input from the mobile terminal 300 through a customized cluster andan AVN user interface (UI), the manipulation specification weight istransmitted to the user weight creation unit 120 of the personalizeddisplay system 100 through a wireless network, such as a mobilecommunication network. The user weight creation unit 120, receiving themanipulation specification weight, reflects the manipulationspecification weight in the manipulation information to create theweight setting information.

The weight setting information may be more effectively manipulatedthrough the mobile terminal 300 than through the integration screen ofthe personalized display system 100. This is because easy input(manipulation) is possible at any place where the mobile terminal 300communicates with the personalized display system 100.

Furthermore, the user weight creation unit 120 may receive themanipulation specification weight including sizes of a screen, symbols,and text, a display cycle, and volume control of voice guidance relatedto the manipulation information and the input driver information tocreate the weight setting information. However, the present disclosureis not limited thereto. Other various kinds of information that can bemanipulated by the driver may be included in the manipulationspecification weight.

The display specification decision unit 130 maps the weight settinginformation of the user weight creation unit 120 to the manipulationstyle profile information created by the profile creation unit 110 todetermine a user's favorite display specification. For example, adisplay specification related to sizes of a screen, symbols, and text, adisplay cycle, and voice guidance may be determined.

The manipulation style profile information used for mapping may be onein which a result of the manipulation style profile informationcumulatively integrated by the profile creation unit 110 is reflected.Consequently, the display specification decision unit 130 may map theweight setting information to the cumulatively integrated manipulationstyle profile information to determine the display specification.

When the display specification is determined as described above, theinformation may be displayed in consideration of classification ofcontent to be displayed per function, determination of favorite displayinformation suitable for each situation, and the weight settinginformation.

The integration screen display unit 140 displays the displayspecification determined by the display specification decision unit 130on the integration screen in the form of a widget. For example, adisplay specification per route included in the route information may bedisplayed on the integration screen.

When the display specification is displayed on the integration screen inthe form of a widget, the driver may change and arrange a driver'sfavorite screen on the integration screen through a telephoneconversation screen, reflect a driver's use frequency and a driver'sstyle through learning, arbitrarily rearrange the user interface (UI)(setting through the mobile terminal is also possible), and vary anddisplay the combined information based on a real route state and atraveling condition.

Second Embodiment

FIG. 3 is a flowchart exemplarily showing a car content managementmethod (S100) of a personalized display system 100 according to a secondembodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 3, the car content management method (S100) of thepersonalized display system 100, for integrating and varying carcontent, includes steps S110 to S160.

First, at step S110, the profile creation unit 110 collects and storescar driving information acquired by the ECU 101. The ECU 101 controlsthe accelerator, the battery, the brake, the air conditioner, thecluster 103, the audio device, and the electric equipment related tovarious kinds of driving to create driving information. However, thepresent disclosure is not limited thereto. The created drivinginformation generically names information related to driving createdthrough operations of the accelerator, the battery, the brake, the airconditioner, and the electric equipment.

In addition, at step S110, the profile creation unit 110 collects andstores route information through the AVN device 102 for providinginformation related to roads and traffic. The route information includesinformation related to a road state, a car travel state on the road, adeparture state, a stopover state, and a destination state. Thecollected driving information and route information may be one learnedby the driver through fuzzy logic.

Subsequently, in a case in which state content of the cluster 103 andthe AVN device 102 is provided to the integration screen in the form ofa user interface (UI), at step S120, the profile creation unit 110creates manipulation information related to manipulation of the statecontent. The created manipulation information may be one learned by thedriver through fuzzy logic. The manipulation information may be inputfrom a mobile terminal 300 connected through a wireless network, such asa mobile communication network. In a case in which state content of thecluster 103 and the AVN device 102 is provided to the mobile terminal300 in the form of a user interface (UI), manipulation information inputfrom the mobile terminal 300 may be transmitted to the profile creationunit 110, which may use the manipulation information.

That the driving information, the route information, and themanipulation information are learned by the user through fuzzy logicmeans that manipulation styles acquired through user's experiencesduring driving are reflected in the driving information, the routeinformation, and the manipulation information. For example, manipulationstyles, such as acceleration and deceleration, the number of times ofmanipulation and the details of manipulation, maintenance/change of amain screen, the type of a road, a long/short distance, anddetermination of day/night, may be learned and reflected in the drivinginformation, the route information, and the manipulation information.

Subsequently, at step S130, the profile creation unit 110 combines thedriving information, the route information, and the manipulationinformation learned through fuzzy logic using various kinds ofinformation acquired from the ECU 101. The combination is a resultobtained through matching among the driving information, the routeinformation, and the manipulation information. For example, the drivinginformation and the route information may be matched with themanipulation information per time zone, road, and driving speed tocombine the driving information, the route information, and themanipulation information. When the driving information, the routeinformation, and the manipulation information are combined, at stepS130, the profile creation unit 110 may create manipulation styleprofile information through combination thereamong. In other words, themanipulation style profile information created as described above ismatched with the manipulation information per time zone, road, anddriving speed. Consequently, driver's favorite manipulation informationis reflected in the manipulation style profile information. For example,manipulation information during driving and car driving stateinformation of the driving information may be combined to learn displayinformation manipulation based on a traveling habit on a travelingroute. Examples of learning may include acceleration and deceleration,the number of times of manipulation and the details of manipulation,maintenance/change of a main screen, the type of a road, a long/shortdistance, and determination of day/night as described above.

Subsequently, at step S140, the user weight creation unit 120 gives amanipulation specification weight based on the manipulation informationacquired at step S120 and driver information input by the driver. Themanipulation specification weight is a result obtained by giving aweight to the manipulation information in a case in which themanipulation information is displayed through the user interface of theintegration screen.

Subsequently, at step S140, the user weight creation unit 120 may createweight setting information as the manipulation specification weight isgiven to the manipulation information. The weight setting informationmay be set through the user interface of the integration screen orthrough the mobile terminal 300. For example, when the manipulationspecification weight is input from the mobile terminal 300 through acustomized cluster and an AVN user interface (UI), the manipulationspecification weight is transmitted to the user weight creation unit 120of the personalized display system 100 through a wireless network, suchas a mobile communication network. The user weight creation unit 120,receiving the manipulation specification weight, reflects themanipulation specification weight in the manipulation information tocreate the weight setting information.

The weight setting information may be more effectively manipulatedthrough the mobile terminal 300 than through the integration screen ofthe personalized display system 100. This is because easy input (i.e.,manipulation) is possible at any place where the mobile terminal 300communicates with the personalized display system 100.

Furthermore, at step S140, the user weight creation unit 120 may receivethe manipulation specification weight including sizes of a screen,symbols, and text, a display cycle, and volume control of voice guidancerelated to the manipulation information and the input driver informationto create the weight setting information. However, the presentdisclosure is not limited thereto. Other various kinds of informationthat can be manipulated by the driver may be included in themanipulation specification weight.

Subsequently, at step S150, the display specification decision unit 130maps the weight setting information of the user weight creation unit 120to the manipulation style profile information created at step S130 todetermine a user's favorite display specification. For example, adisplay specification related to sizes of a screen, symbols, and text, adisplay cycle, and voice guidance may be determined. The manipulationstyle profile information used for mapping may be one in which a resultof the manipulation style profile information cumulatively integrated bythe profile creation unit 110 is reflected. Consequently, the displayspecification decision unit 130 may map the weight setting informationto the cumulatively integrated manipulation style profile information todetermine the display specification. When the display specification isdetermined as described above, the information may be displayed inconsideration of classification of content to be displayed per function,determination of favorite display information suitable for eachsituation, and the weight setting information.

Subsequently, at step S160, the integration screen display unit 140displays the display specification determined at step S150 on theintegration screen in the form of a widget. For example, a displayspecification per route included in the route information may bedisplayed on the integration screen.

When the display specification is displayed on the integration screen inthe form of a widget, the driver may change and arrange a driver'sfavorite screen on the integration screen through a telephoneconversation screen, reflect a driver's use frequency and a driver'sstyle through learning, arbitrarily rearrange the user interface (UI)(setting through the mobile terminal is also possible), and vary anddisplay the combined information based on a real route state and atraveling condition.

Third Embodiment

FIG. 4 is a view exemplarily showing a personalized display system 200according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 5 isa detailed view showing components of the personalized display system200 according to the third embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown, the personalized display system 200, for integrating andvarying car content, includes a mobile terminal 210 and a carintegration device 220.

In a case in which state content of a cluster 203 and an AVN device 202is received from the car integration device 220, which will hereinafterbe described, the mobile terminal 210 displays the state content in theform of a customized cluster and an AVN user interface (UI). In thiscase, manipulation information related to manipulation of the statecontent is created through the cluster and the AVN user interface (UI).The created manipulation information may be one learned by the driverthrough fuzzy logic.

When the manipulation information is created, the mobile terminal 210sets a manipulation specification weight for weighting the manipulationinformation to create weight setting information based on themanipulation information created through the customized cluster and theAVN user interface (UI) and driver information input by the driver. Theset manipulation specification weight means that a weight of driver'sfavorite manipulation information is given by a driving habit andlearning of the driver. The manipulation specification weight mayinclude sizes of a screen, symbols, and text, a display cycle, andvolume control of voice guidance related to the manipulation informationand the input driver information as described above.

Of course, the manipulation specification weight may be set through thecluster and the AVN user interface (UI). However, the present disclosureis not limited thereto. Other various kinds of information that can bemanipulated by the driver may be included in the manipulationspecification weight. The created manipulation information, the driverinformation, and the weight setting information including themanipulation specification weight are transmitted to the car integrationdevice 220 through a wireless network, such as a mobile communicationnetwork.

The car integration device 220 collects and stores car drivinginformation transmitted from an electronic control unit (ECU) 201. TheECU 201 controls an accelerator, a battery, a brake, an air conditioner,the cluster 203, an audio device, and electric equipment related tovarious kinds of driving to create driving information. However, thepresent disclosure is not limited thereto. The created drivinginformation generically names information related to driving createdthrough operations of the accelerator, the battery, the brake, the airconditioner, and the electric equipment.

In addition, the car integration device 220 collects and stores routeinformation through the AVN device 202 for providing information relatedto roads and traffic. The route information includes information relatedto a road state, a car travel state on the road, a departure state, astopover state, and a destination state.

The collected driving information and route information may be onelearned by the driver through fuzzy logic. That the driving information,the route information, and the manipulation information are learned bythe user through fuzzy logic means that manipulation styles acquiredthrough user's experiences during driving are reflected in the drivinginformation, the route information, and the manipulation information.For example, manipulation styles, such as acceleration and deceleration,the number of times of manipulation and the details of manipulation,maintenance/change of a main screen, the type of a road, a long/shortdistance, and determination of day/night, may be learned and reflectedin the driving information, the route information, and the manipulationinformation.

Consequently, the car integration device 220 combines the drivinginformation, the route information, and the manipulation informationlearned through fuzzy logic. The combination is a result obtainedthrough matching among the driving information, the route information,and the manipulation information. For example, the driving informationand the route information may be matched with the manipulationinformation per time zone, road, and driving speed to combine thedriving information, the route information, and the manipulationinformation. When the driving information, the route information, andthe manipulation information are combined, the car integration device220 may create manipulation style profile information throughcombination thereamong. In other words, the manipulation style profileinformation created as described above is matched with the manipulationinformation per time zone, road, and driving speed. Consequently,driver's favorite manipulation information is reflected in themanipulation style profile information. For example, the manipulationinformation during driving and car driving state information of thedriving information may be combined to learn display informationmanipulation based on a traveling habit on a traveling route. Examplesof learning may include acceleration and deceleration, the number oftimes of manipulation and the details of manipulation,maintenance/change of a main screen, the type of a road, a long/shortdistance, and determination of day/night as described above.

Furthermore, the car integration device 220 maps the weight settinginformation received from the mobile terminal 210 to the pre-createdmanipulation style profile information to determine a user's favoritedisplay specification. For example, a display specification related tosizes of a screen, symbols, and text, a display cycle, and voiceguidance may be determined. The manipulation style profile informationused for mapping may be one in which a cumulatively integrated result isreflected. Consequently, the car integration device 220 may map theweight setting information to the cumulatively integrated manipulationstyle profile information to determine the display specification.

When the display specification is determined as described above, theinformation may be displayed in consideration of classification ofcontent to be displayed per function, determination of favorite displayinformation suitable for each situation, and the weight settinginformation.

In addition, the car integration device 220 displays the determineddisplay specification on the integration screen in the form of a widget.For example, a display specification per route included in the routeinformation may be displayed on the integration screen.

When the display specification is displayed on the integration screen inthe form of a widget, the driver may change and arrange a driver'sfavorite screen on the integration screen through a telephoneconversation screen, reflect a driver's use frequency and a driver'sstyle through learning, arbitrarily rearrange the user interface, andvary and display the combined information based on a real route stateand a traveling condition.

First, in a case in which state content of the cluster 203 and the AVNdevice 202 is received from the car integration device 220, at stepS210, the mobile terminal 210 displays the state content in the form ofa customized cluster and an AVN user interface (UI). In this case, themobile terminal 210 creates manipulation information related tomanipulation of the state content through the cluster and the AVN userinterface (UI). The created manipulation information may be one learnedby the driver through fuzzy logic.

Subsequently, when the manipulation information is created at step S210,at step S220, the mobile terminal 210 sets a manipulation specificationweight for weighting the manipulation information to create weightsetting information based on the manipulation information createdthrough the customized cluster and the AVN user interface (UI) anddriver information input by the driver.

The set manipulation specification weight means that a weight ofdriver's favorite manipulation information is given by a driving habitand learning of the driver. The manipulation specification weight mayinclude sizes of a screen, symbols, and text, a display cycle, andvolume control of voice guidance related to the manipulation informationand the input driver information as described above. Of course, they areset through the cluster and an AVN user interface (UI). However, thepresent disclosure is not limited thereto. Other various kinds ofinformation that can be manipulated by the driver may be included in themanipulation specification weight.

Subsequently, at step S230, the mobile terminal 210 transmits themanipulation information created at steps S210 and S220, the driverinformation, and the weight setting information including themanipulation specification weight to the car integration device 220. Themobile terminal 210 may transmit the above information to the carintegration device 220 through a wireless network, such as a mobilecommunication network.

Subsequently, at step S240, the car integration device 220 collects andstores car driving information transmitted from the ECU 201. The ECU 201controls an accelerator, a battery, a brake, an air conditioner, thecluster 203, an audio device, and electric equipment related to variouskinds of driving to create driving information. However, the presentdisclosure is not limited thereto. The created driving informationgenerically names information related to driving created throughoperations of the accelerator, the battery, the brake, the airconditioner, and the electric equipment.

Subsequently, at step S240, the car integration device 220 collects andstores route information through the AVN device 202 for providinginformation related to roads and traffic. The route information includesinformation related to a road state, a car travel state on the road, adeparture state, a stopover state, and a destination state. Thecollected driving information and route information may be one learnedby the driver through fuzzy logic. That the driving information, theroute information, and the manipulation information are learned by theuser through fuzzy logic means that manipulation styles acquired throughuser's experiences during driving are reflected in the drivinginformation, the route information, and the manipulation information.For example, manipulation styles, such as acceleration and deceleration,the number of times of manipulation and the details of manipulation,maintenance/change of a main screen, the type of a road, a long/shortdistance, and determination of day/night, may be learned and reflectedin the driving information, the route information, and the manipulationinformation.

Consequently, at step S240, the car integration device 220 combines thedriving information, the route information, and the manipulationinformation learned through fuzzy logic. The combination is a resultobtained through matching among the driving information, the routeinformation, and the manipulation information. For example, the drivinginformation and the route information may be matched with themanipulation information per time zone, road, and driving speed tocombine the driving information, the route information, and themanipulation information. When the driving information, the routeinformation, and the manipulation information are combined, the carintegration device 220 may create manipulation style profile informationthrough combination thereamong. In other words, the manipulation styleprofile information created as described above is matched with themanipulation information per time zone, road, and driving speed.Consequently, driver's favorite manipulation information is reflected inthe manipulation style profile information. For example, themanipulation information during driving and car driving stateinformation of the driving information may be combined to learn displayinformation manipulation based on a traveling habit on a travelingroute. Examples of learning may include acceleration and deceleration,the number of times of manipulation and the details of manipulation,maintenance/change of a main screen, the type of a road, a long/shortdistance, and determination of day/night as described above.

Subsequently, at step S250, the car integration device 220 maps theweight setting information received from the mobile terminal 210 to thepre-created manipulation style profile information to determine a user'sfavorite display specification. For example, a display specificationrelated to sizes of a screen, symbols, and text, a display cycle, andvoice guidance may be determined. The manipulation style profileinformation used for mapping may be one in which a cumulativelyintegrated result is reflected. Consequently, at step S250, the carintegration device 220 may map the weight setting information to thecumulatively integrated manipulation style profile information todetermine the display specification. When the display specification isdetermined as described above, the information may be displayed inconsideration of classification of content to be displayed per function,determination of favorite display information suitable for eachsituation, and the weight setting information.

Finally, at step S260, the car integration device 220 displays thedisplay specification determined at step S250 on the integration screenin the form of a widget. For example, a display specification per routeincluded in the route information may be displayed on the integrationscreen of the car integration device 220. When the display specificationis displayed on the integration screen in the form of a widget, thedriver may change and arrange a driver's favorite screen on theintegration screen through a telephone conversation screen, reflect adriver's use frequency and a driver's style through learning,arbitrarily rearrange the user interface, and vary and display thecombined information based on a real route state and a travelingcondition.

As is apparent from the above description, the present disclosure has aneffect in that it is possible for the driver to change and arrange adriver's favorite screen on the integration screen, reflect a driver'suse frequency and a driver's style through learning, and arbitrarilyrearrange the user interface (UI) (set by the mobile terminal).

In addition, the present disclosure has an effect in that it is possibleto display content related to the cluster and the AVN device through theintegration display window in a coupled or combined state, vary anddisplay the combined information based on a real route state and atraveling condition, and store the above information in a database suchthat the information can be reflected in the next driving operation.

Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a computer readablemedium including program commands for implementing operationsimplemented through various computers.
